BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to novel pyrimidine derivatives that are useful in the treatment of abnormal cell growth, such as cancer, in mammals. This invention also relates to a method of using such compounds in the treatment of abnormal cell growth in mammals, especially humans, and to pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds.

It is known that a cell may become cancerous by virtue of the transformation of a portion of its DNA into an oncogene (i.e., a gene which, on activation, leads to the formation of malignant tumor cells). many oncogenes encode proteins that are aberrant tyrosine kinases capable of causing cell transformation. Alternatively, the overexpression of a normal proto-oncogenic tyrosine kinase may also result in proliferative disorders, sometimes resulting in a malignant phenotype.

Receptor tyrosine kinases are enzymes which span the cell membrane and possess an extracellular binding domain for growth factors such as epidermal growth factor, a transmembrane domain, and an intracellular portion which functions as a kinase to phosphorylate specific tyrosine residues in proteins and hence to influence cell proliferation. Other receptor tyrosine kinases include c-erbB-2, c-met, tie-2, PDGFr, FGFr, and VEGFR. It is known that such kinases are frequently aberrantly expressed in common human cancers such as breast cancer, gastrointestinal cancer such as colon, rectal or stomach cancer, leukimia, and ovarian, bronchial or pancreatic cancer. it has also been shown that epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), which possesses tyrosine kinase activity, is mutated and/or overexpressed in many human cancers such as brain, lung, squamous cell, bladder, gastric, breast, head and neck, oesophageal, gynecological and thyroid tumors.

Accordingly, it has been recognized that inhibitors of receptor tyrosine kinases are useful as selective inhibitors of the growth of mammalian cancer cells. For example, erbstatin, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, selectively attenuates the growth in athymic nude mice of a transplanted human mammary carcinoma that expresses epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase (EGFR) but is without effect on the growth of another carcinoma that does not express the EGF receptor. Thus, selective inhibitors of certain receptor tyrosine kinases, are useful in the treatment of abnormal cell growth, in particular cancer, in mammals. In addition to receptor tyrosine kinases, selective inhibitors of certain non-receptor tyrosine kinasese, such as FAK (focal adhesion kinase), lck, src, abl or serine/threonine kinases (e.g., cyclin dependednt kinases), are useful in the treatment of abnormal cell groeth, in particular cancer, in mammals. FAK is also known as Protein-Tyrosine Kinase 2, PTK2.

The below relates to FAK inhibitors:

Convincing evidence suggests that FAK, a cytoplasmic, non-receptor tyrosine kinase, plays an essential role in cell-matrix signal transduction pathways (Clark and Brugge 1995, Science 268: 233-239) and its aberrant activation is associated with an increase in the metastatic potential of tumors (Owens et al. 1995, Cancer Research 55: 2752-2755). FAK was originally identified as a 125 kDa protein highly tyrosine-phosphorylated in cells transformed by v-Src. FAK was subsequently found to be a tyrosine kinase that localizes to focal adhesions, which are contact points between cultured cells and their underlying substratum and sites of intense tyrosine phosphorylation. FAK is phosphorylated and, thus, activated in response to extracellular matrix (ECM)-binding to integrins. Recently, studies have demonstrated that an increase in FAK mRNA levels accompanied invasive transformation of tumors and attenuation of the expression of FAK (through the use of antisense oliginucleotides) include apoptosis in tumor cells (Xu et al. 1996, Cell Growth and Diff. 7: 413-418). In addition to being expressed in most tissue types, FAK is found at elevated levels in most human cancers, particularly in highly invasive metastases.

Various compounds, such as styrene derivatives, have also been shown to possess tyrosine kinase inhibitory properties. Five Europian patent publications, namely EP 0 566 226 A1 (published Oct. 20, 1993), EP 0 602 851 A1 (published Jun. 22, 1994), EP 0 635 507 A1 (published Jan. 25, 1995), EP 0 635 498 A1 (published Jan. 25, 1995), and EP 0 520 722 A1 (published Dec. 30, 1992), refer to certain bicyclic derivatives, in particular quinazoline derivatives, as possessing anti-cancer properties that result from their tyrosine kinase inhibitory properties.

Also, World Patent Application WO 92/20642 (published Nov. 26, 1992), refers to certain bis-mono and bicyclic aryl and heteroaryl compounds as tyrosine kinase inhibitors that are useful in inhibiting abnormal cell proliferation. World Patent Applications WO96/16960 (published Jun. 6, 1996), WO 96/09294 (published Mar. 6, 1996), WO 97/30034 (published Aug. 21, 1997), WO 98/02434 (published Jan. 22, 1998), WO 98/02437 (published Jan. 22, 1998), and WO 98/02438 (published Jan. 22, 1998), also refer to substituted bicyclic heteroaromatic derivatives as tyrosine kinase inhibitors that are useful for the same purpose. In addition, the following list of publications relate to bis- mono and bicyclic aryl and heteroaryl compounds that may optionally be used as tyrosine kinase inhibitors: WO 03/030909, WO 03/032997, US Patent Application NO. 2003/0181474, US Patent Application No. 2003/0162802, U.S. Pat. No. 5,863,924, WO 03/078404, U.S. Pat. No. 4,507,146, WO 99/41253, WO 01/72744, WO 02/48133, US Patent Application No. 2002/156087, WO 02/102783, and WO 03/063794.

U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/734,039, filed Dec. 11, 2003 (Attorney Docket No. PC25339A) relates to a broad class of novel pyrimidine derivatives that are kinase inhibitors, and more specifically, inhibitors of FAK. Moreover, U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/733,215, filed Dec. 11, 2003 (Attorney Docket No. PC25937A) relate more specifically to a subset of pyrimidine derivatives, i.e., those bearing a 5-aminooxindole, which are tyrosine kinase inhibitors, and more particularly, FAK inhibitors. Compounds such as these are useful in the treatment of abnormal cell growth.

The below relates to Aurora-2 inhibitors:

many kinases are involved in regulatory cascades for cells wherein thier substrates may include other kinases whose activities are regulated by their phosphorylation state. Ultimately the activity of same downstream effector is modulated by phosphorylation resulting from activation of such a pathway.

The serine/threonine (S/T) kinase family includes members found at all steps of various signaling cascades, including those involved in controlling cell growth, migration, differentiation and secretion of hormones, phosphorylation of transcription factors resulting in altered gene expression, muscle contraction, glucose metabolism, control of cellular protein synthesis, and regulation of the cell cycle.

One family of mitotic serine/threonine kinases is the Aurora (AUR) kinase family. The AUR kinase family has been found to be essential for providing signals that initiate and advance mitosis. It has been found that the Aurora kinases are overexpressed in tumor types, including colon cancer, breast cancer, and leukemia. Two primary isoforms of Aurora kinases have been identified and designated as form A and B. Aurora A is also known as Aurora-2 (AUR2), STK6, ARK1, Aurora/IPL-1-related kinase, while Aurora is also known as Aurora 1 or AUR1. The Aurora kinases have been characterized and identified in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,962,312 and 5,972,676 (a divisional from the '312 patent) which relate to Aurora 1 (AUR-1) and Aurora-2 (AUR2) polypeptides, nucleic acids encoding such polypeptides, cells, tissues and animals containing such nucleic acids, antibodies to such polypeptides, assays utilizing such polypeptides, and methods relating to all of the foregoing

The overexpression of Aurora kinases, especially Aurora-2, in tumor cells provides an attractive target for drug intervention and the potential for a significant opportunity for controlling cell division in many types of cancer, and in particular for colon cancer and breast cancer. Applicants have now identified novel heteroaromatic Aurora kinase inhibitors which are able to modulate (reduce) that activity of the Aurora kinases in cancer cells.

Accordingly, a need exists for additional selective inhibitors of certain receptor and non-receptor tyrosine kinases, useful in the treatment of abnormal cell growth, such as cancer, in mammals. The present invention provides novel pyrimidine derivatives that are kinase inhibitors and inhibitors of the non-receptor tyrosine kinases, e.g., FAK, Pyk, HgK, Aurora-1 and Aurora-2, and are useful in the treatment of abnormal cell growth.

and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof of each of the foregoing compounds.

The present invention also includes isotopically-labeled compounds, which are identical to those recited in formulae 1 and 2, but for the fact that one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number usually found in nature. Examples of isotopes that can be incotporated into compounds of the invention include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, fluorine and chlorine, such as, but not limited to, ²H, ³H, ¹³C, ¹⁴C, ¹⁵N, ¹⁸O, ¹⁷O, ³¹P, ³²P, ³⁵S, ¹⁸F, and ³⁶Cl, respectively. Compounds of the present invention, prodrugs thereof, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts of said compounds or of said prodrugs which contain the aforementioned isotopes and/or other isotopes of other atoms are within the scope of the invention. Certain isotopically-labeled compounds of the present invention, for example those into which radioactive isotopes such as ³H and ¹⁴C are incorporated, are useful in drug and/or substrate tissue distribution assays. Tritiated, i.e., ³H, and carbon-14, i.e., ¹⁴C, isotopes are particularly preferred for their ease of preparation anddetectability. Further, substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium, i.e., ²H, can afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements and, hence, may be preferred in some circumstances. Isotopically-labeled compounds of this invention and prodrugs thereof can generally be prepared by carrying out the procedures disclosed in the Schemes and/or in the Examples and Preparations below, by substituting a readily available isotopically-labeled reagent for a non-isotopically-labeled reagent.

to react with a compound of formula

to provide the compounds of the invention wherein R¹⁷ is as defined above.

When preparing compounds of the invention in accordance with the invention, it is open to a person skilled in the art to routinely select the form of the intermediate compound which provides the best combination of features for this purpose. Such features include the melting point, solubility, processability and yield of the intermediate form and the resulting ease with which the product may be purified on isolation.

The invention also relates to methods for making intermediate compounds that are useful for making the compounds of the invention.

As noted above, invention also relates to the pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of the invention. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of the invention include the acid addition and base salts thereof. Suitable acid addition salts are formed from acids which form non-toxic slats. Non-limiting examples of suitable acid addition salts include the acetate, adipate, asparate, benzoate, besylate, bicarbonate/carbonate, bisulphate/sulphate, borate, camsylate, citrate, cyclamate, edisylate, esylate, formate, fumarate, gluceptate, gluconate, glucuronate, hexafluorophosphate, hibenzate, hydrochloride/chloride, hydrobromide/bromide, hydroiodide/iodide, isethionate, lactate, malate, maleate, malonate, mesylate, methylsulphate, naphthylate, 2-napsylate, nicotinate, nitrate, orotate, oxalate, palmitate, pamoate, phosphate/hydrogen phosphate/gihydrogen phosphate, pyroglutamate, saccharate, stearate, succinate, tannate, tartrate, tosylate, trifluoroacetate and xinofoate salts.

For a review on suitable salts, see Handbook of Pharmaceutical Salts: Properties, Selection, and Use by Stahl and Wermuth (Wiley-VCH, 200). Methods for making pharmaceutically acceptable salts of compounds of the invention are known to one skill in the art.

The compounds of the invention may also exist in unsolvated and solvated forms. Accordingly, the invention also relates to the hydrates and solvates of the compounds of the invention.

The term “solvate” is used herein to describe a molecular complex cmprising the compound of the invention and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable solvent molecules, for example, ethanol.

The term ‘hydrate’ is employed when said solvent is water. A currently accepted classification system for organic hydrates is one that defines isolated site, channel, or metal-ion coordinated hydrates—see Polymorphism in Pharmaceutical Solids by K. R. Morris (Ed. H. G. Brittain, Marcel Dekker, 1995). Isolated site hydrates are ones in which the water molecules are isolated from direct contact with each other by intervening organic molecules. In channel hydrates, the water molecules lie in lattice channels where they are next to other water molecules. In metal-ion coordinated hydrates. the water molecules are bonded to the metal ion.

When the solvent or water is tightly bound, the complex will have a well-defined stoichiometry independent of humidity. When, however, the solvent or water is weakly bound, as in channel solvates and hygroscopic compounds, the water/solvent content will be dependent on humidity and drying conditions. In such cases, non-stoichiometry will be the norm.

The invention also relates to prodrugs of the compounds of the invention. Thus certain derivatives of compounds of the invention which may have little or no pharmacological activity themselves can, when administered into or onto the body, be converted into compounds of the invention having the desired activity, for example, by hydrolytic cleavage. Such derivatives are referred to as “prodrugs”. Further information on the use of prodrugs may be found in Pro-drugs as Novel Delivery Systems, Vol. 14, ACS Symposium Series (T. Higuchi and W. Stella) and Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design, Pergamon Press, 1987 (Ed. E. B. Roche, American Pharmaceutical Association).

Prodrugs in accordance with the invention can, for example, be produced by replacing appropriate functionalities present in the compounds of the invention with certain moieties known to those skilled in the art as ‘pro-moieties’ as described, for example, in Design of Prodrugs by H. Bundgaard (Elsevier, 1985).

Some non-limiting examples of prodrugs in accordance with the invention include

(i) where the compound of the invention contains a carboxylic acid functionality (—COOH), an ester thereof, for example, a compound wherein the hydrogen of the carboxylic acid functionality of the compound of formula (I) is replace by (C₁-C₆)alkyl;

(ii) where the compound of the invention contains an alcohol functionality (—OH), an ether thereof, for example, a compound wherein the hydrogen of the alcohol functionality of the compound of the invention is replaced by (C₁-C₆)alkanoyloxymethyl; and

(iii) where the compound of the invention contains a primary or secondary amino functionality (—NH₂ or —NHR where R≠H), an amide thereof, for example, a compound wherein, as the case may be, one or both hydrogens of the amino functionality of the compound of the invention is/are replaced by (C₁-C₆)alkanoyl.

Further examples of replacement groups in accordance with the foregoing examples and examples of other prodrug types may be found in the aforementioned references.

Moreover, certain compounds of the invention may themselves act as prodrugs of other compounds of the invention.

Also includes within the scope of the invention are metabolites of compounds of the invention, that is, compounds formed in vivo upon administration of the drug. Some examples of metabolites in accordance with the invention include:

(i) where the compound of the invention contains a methyl group, an hydroxymethyl derivatives thereof (e.g., —CH→—CH₂OH);

(ii) where the compound of the invention conatins an alkoxy group, an hydroxy derivative thereof (e.g., —OR⁷→—OH);

(iii) where the compound of the invention contains a tertiary amino group, a secondary amino derivative thereof (e.g., —NR³R⁴→—NHR³ or —NHR⁴);

(iv) where the compound of the invention contains a secondary amino group, a primary derivative thereof (e.g., —NHR³→—NH₂);

(v) where the compound of the invention contains a phenyl moiety, a phenol derivative thereof (e.g., —Ph→PhOH); and

(vi) where the compound of the invention contains a secondary amide group, a carboxylic acid derivative thereof (e.g., —CONH₂→COOH).

Compounds of the invention containing one or more asymetric carbon atoms can exist as two or more steroisomers. Where a compound of the invention contains an alkenyl or alkenylene group, geometric cis/trans (or Z/E) isomers are possible. Where structural isomers are interconvertible via a low energy barrier, tautomeric isomerism (“tautomerism”) can occur. This can take the form of proton tautomerism in compounds of the invention containing, for example, an amino, keto, or oxime group, or so-called valence tautomerism in compounds which contain an aromatic moiety. It follows that a single compound may exhibit more than one type of isomerism.

Included within the scope of the present invention are all stereoisomers, geometric isomers and tautomeric forms of the compounds of the invention, including compounds exhibiting more than one type of isomerism, and mixtures of one or more thereof. Also included are acid addition or base salts wherein the counterion is optically active, for example, d-lactate or l-lysine, or racemic, for example, dl-tartrate or dl-arginine.

Cis/trans isomers may be separated by conventional techniques well known to those skilled in the art, for example, chromatography and fractional crystallization.

Conventional techniques for the preparation/isolation of individual enantiomers include chiral synthesis from a suitable optically pure precursor or resolution of the racemate (or the racemate of a salt or derivative) using, for example, chiral high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC).

Alternatively, the racemate (or a racemic orecursor) may be reacted with a suitable optically active compound, for example, an alcohol, or, in the case where the compound of the invention contains an acidic or basic moiety, a base or acid such as 1-phenylethylamine or tartaric acid. The resulting diastereomeric mixture may be separated by chromatography and/or fractional crystallization and one or both of the diastereoisomers converted to the corresponding pure enantiomer(s) by means well known to a skilled person.

Chiral compounds of the invention (and chiral precursors thereof) may be obtained in enantiomerically-enriched form using chromatography, typically HPLC, on an asymmetric resin with a mobile phase consisting of a hydrocarbon, typically heptane or hexane, containing from 0% to 50% by volume of an alcoholic solvent such as isopropanol, typically from 2% to 20%, and from 0 to 5% by volume of an alkylamine, typically 0.1% diethylamine. Concentration of the eluate affords the enriched mixture.

When any racemate crystallizes, crystals of two different types are possible. The first type is the racemic compound (true racemate) referred to above wherein one homogeneous form of crystal is produced containing both enantiomers in equimolar amounts. The second type is the racemic mixture or conglomerate wherein two forms of crystal are produced in equimolar amounts each comprising a single enantiomer.

While both of the crystal forms present in a racemic mixture have identical physical properties, they may have different physical properties compared to the true racemate. Racemic mixtures may be separated by conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art—see, for example, Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds by E. L. Eliel and S. H. Wilen (Wiley, 1994).

FAK cell-based Protocol for selectivity of kinase-dependent phosphoFAKY397

Procedure:

An inducible FAK cell-based assay in ELISA format for the screening of chemical matter to identify tyrosine kinase specific inhibitors was developed. The cell-based assay exploits the mechanism of the GeneSwitch™ system (InVitrogen) to exogenously control the expression and phosphorylation of FAK and the kinase-dependent autophosphorylation site at residue Y397.

Inhibition of the kinase-dependent autophosphorylation at Y397 results in a reduced absorbance signal at OD450. The signal is typically 0.9 to 1.5 OD450 units with the noise falling in the range of 0.08 to 0.1 OD450 units. The values are reported as IC50s, uM concentration.

On day 1, grow A431·FAKwt in T175 flasks. On the day prior to running the FAK cell-assay, seed A431·FAKwt cells in growth media on 96-well U-bottom plates. Allow cells to sit at 37° C., 5% CO2 for 6 to 8 hours prior to FAK induction. Prepare Mifepristone stock solution of 10 uM in 100 % Ethanol. The stock solution is subsequently diluted to 10× of the final concentration in Growth Media. Transfer 10 ul of this dilution (final concentration of 0.1 nM Mifepristone) into each well. Allow cells to sit at 37° C., 5% CO2 overnight (12 to 16 hours). Also, prepare control wells without Mifepristone induction of FAK expression and phosphorylation.

On day 2, coat Goat Anti-Rabbit plate(s) with 3.5 ug/ml of phosphospecific FAKpY397 oplyclonal antibody prepared in SuperBlock TBS buffer, and allow plate(s) to shake on a plate shaker at room temperature for 2 hours. Optionally, control wells may be coated with 3.5 ug/ml of control Capture antibody (Whole Rabbit IgG molecules) prepared in SuperBlock TBS. Wash off excess FAKpY397 antibody 3 times using buffer. Block Anti-FAKpY397 coated plate(s) with 200 ul per well of 3%BSA/0.5%Tween Blocking buffer for 1 hour at room temperature on the plate shaker. While the plate(s) are blocking, prepare compound stock solutions of 5 mM in 100% DMSO. The stock solutions are subsequently serially diluted to 100× of the final concentration in 100% DMSO. Make a 1:10 dilution using the 100× solution into growth media and transfer 10 ul of the appropriate compound dilutions to each well containing either the FAK induced or uninduced control A431 cells for 30 minutes 37° C., 5% CO2. Prepare RIPA lysis buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH7.4, 1% NP-40, 0.25% Na-deoxycholate, 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 1 mM Na3VO4, 1 mM NaF, and one Complete™ EDTA-free protease inhibitor pellet per 50 ml solution). At the end of 30 minutes compound treatment, wash off compound 3 times using TBS-T wash buffer. Lyse cells with 100 ul/well of RIPA buffer.

To the coated plate, remove blocking buffer and wash 3 times using TBS-T wash buffer. Using a 96-well automated microdispenser, transfer 100 ul of whole cell-lysate (from step 6) to the Goat Anti-Rabbit FAKpY397 coated plate(s) to capture phosphoFAKY397 proteins. Shake at room temperature for 2 hours. Wash off unbound proteins 3 times using TBS-T wash buffer. Prepare 0.5 ug/ml (1:2000 dilution) of UBI αFAK detection antibody in 3%BSA/0.5% Tween blocking buffer. Dispense 100 ul of UBI αFAK solution per well and shake for 30 minutes at room temperature. Wash of excess UBI αFAK antibody 3 times using TBS-T wash buffer. Prepare 0.08 ug/ml (1:5000 dilution) of secondary Anti-Mouse Peroxidase (Anti-2MHRP) conjugated antibody. Dispense 100 ul per well of the Anti-2MHRP solution and shake for 30 minutes at room temperature. Wash off excess Anti-2MHRP antibody 3 times using TBS-T wash buffer. Add 100 ul per well of room temperature TMB substrate solution to allow for color development. Terminate the TMB reaction with 100 ul per well of TMB stop solution (0.09M H2SO4) and quantitate the signal by measurement of absorbance at 450 nm on the BioRad microplate reader.

In-Vitro Activity of Aurora-2:

The in vitro activity of the compounds of The invention may be determined by the following procedure.

This assay measures the activity of recombinant Aurora-2 (AUR2) kinase, specifically the phosphorylation of a peptide substrate, and the potency of inhibitors of Aurora-2 kinase. Product (phosphorylated peptide) is measured by use of a scintillation proximity assay (SPA). The peptide substrate is incubated with gamma 33P-ATP and enzyme and after the designated time the peptide is captured on a steptavidin SPA bead and the extent of phosphorylation is measured by scintillation counting. Inhibition is evaluated based on the ability of inhibitor to reduce phosphorylation relative to the reaction without inhibitor.

The Aurora-2 kinase used in the assay is full length human protein incorporating a His₆ sequence at the N-terminus to facilitate purification. The gene coding this sequence was incorporated into a baculovirus and the virus used to infect SF9 insect cells in culture. The recombinant protein was purified by nickel-agarose affinity chromatography by standard methods.

The reactions are performed in a volume of 50 μL consisting of 25 ng Aurora 2 protein, 50 mM Tris pH8, 10 mM MgCl₂, 1 mM dithiothreitol, 0.1 mM NaVO₄, 0.02% bovine serum albumin, 10 μM ATP, 0.03 μCi ³³P-ATP, and 2 μMJ biotin- (LRRWSLG)₄ in wells of a 96 well nonbinding surface clear bottom microplate (Wallac Isoplate Cat 1450-514). Compounds are initially dissolved in DMSO, then diluted in 50 mM Tris pH8, 10 mM MgCl₂, 1 mM dithiothreitol, 0.1 mM NaVO₄, 0.02% bovine serum albumin such that 5 μL addition to each well yields the desired final concentration. The reaction is conducted at room temperature for 45 min with gentle shaking, then terminated by addition of 30 μL of Stop Buffer (0.3 mg Streptavidin SPA beads (Amersham), 1:1 water: phosphate buffered saline (0.2 g/L KCl, 0.2 g/L KH₂PO₄, 8 g/L NaCl, 1.15 g/L Na₂HPO₄), 0.5% Triton-X, 75 mM EDTA, 375 μM ATP). Cesium chloride (100 μL, 7.5M) is added to each well, the beads are allowed to settle overnight and scintillation counts performed on a Wallac Microbeta Trilux counter. A background correction is made for each based on a zero time reaction. Compound potency is determined as the concentration of inhibitor that produces 50% inhibition relative to the control reaction (without compound), i.e., IC₅₀.

In-Vitro Activity to Inhibit Osteoporosis and/or Low Bone mass:

Still further, the following assay(s) may be used to assess the ability of a compound of the present invention to inhibit osteoporosis and/or low bone mass, as described above.

(1) Effect of test Compound on Body Weight, Body Composition and Bone Density in the Aged Intact and Ovariectomized Female Rat

This assay may be used to test the effects of a test compound in aged intact or overiectomized (OVX) female rat model.

Study Protocol

Sprague-Dawley female rats are sham-operated or OVX at 18 months of age, while a group of rats is necropsied at day 0 to serve as baseline controls. One day post-surgery, the rats are treated with either vehicle or test compound. The vehicle or test compound is administered twice a week (Tuesday and Friday) by subcutaneous injection (s.c.), with the test compound being administered at an average dose of 10 milligrams per kilogram of body weight per day (10 mg/kg/day).

All rats are given s.c. injection of 10 mg/kg of calcein (Signa, St. Louis, Mo.) for fluorescent bone label 2 and 12 days before necropsy. On the day of necropsy, all rats under ketamine/xylazine anesthesia are weighed and undergo dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA, QDR-4500/W, Hologic Inc., Waltham, Mass.) equipped with Rat Whole Body Scan software for lean and fat body mass determination. The rats femoral metaphysis and femoral shafts from each rat are analyzed by peripheral quantitative computerized tomography (pQCT), and volumetric total, trabecular and cortical bone mineral content and density are determined.

Peripheral Quantitative Computerized Tomography (pQCT) Analysis: Excised femurs are scanned by a pQCT X-ray machine (Stratec XCT research M, Norland Medical Systems, Fort Atkinson, Wis.) with software version 5.40. A 1 millimeter (mm) thick cross section of the femur methaphysis is taken at 5.0 mm (proximal femoral metaphysis, a primary cancellous bone site) and 13 mm (femoral shafts, a cortical bone site) proximal from the distal end with a voxel size of 0.10 mm. Cortical bone is defined and analyzed using contour node 2 and cortical mode 4. An outer threshold setting of 340 mg/cm³ is used to distinguish the cortical shell from soft tissue and an inner threshold of 529 mg/cm³ to distinguish cortical bone along the endocortical surface. Trabecular bone is determined using peel mode 4 with a threshold of 655 mg/cm³ to distinguish (sub)cortical from cancellous bone. An addition concentric peel of 1% of the defined cancellous bone is used to ensure that (sub)cortical bone is eliminated from the analysis. Volumetric content, density, and area are determined for both trabecular and cortical bone (Jamsa T. et al., Bone 23:155-161, 1998; Ke H. Z., et al., Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, 16:765-773, 2001).

Vaginal histology: Vaginal tissue is fixed and embedded in paraffin. Five micron sections are cut and stained with Alcian Blue staining. Histology examination of vaginal luminal epithelial thickness and mucopolysaccharide (secreted cells) is performed.

The experimental groups for the protocol are as follows:

Group I: Baseline controls

Group II: Sham+Vehicle

Group III: OVX+Vehicle

Group IV: OVX+Test Compound at 10 mg/kg/day (in Vehicle)

(2) Fracture Healing Assays

(a) Assay for Effects on Fracture Healing after Systemic Administration

Fracture Technique: Sprague-Dawley rats at 3 months of age are anesthetized with Ketamine. A 1 cm incision is made on the anteromedial aspect of the proximal part of the right tibia or femur. The following describes the tibial surgical technique. The incision is carried through to the bone, and a 1 mm hole is drilled 4 mm proximal to the distal aspect of the tibial tuberosity 2 mm medial to the anterior ridge. Intramedullary nailing is performed with a 0.8 mm stainless steel tube (maximum load 36.3 N, maximum stiffness 61.8 N/mm, tested under the same conditions as the bones). No reaming of the medullary canal is performed. A standardized closed fracture is produced 2 mm above the tibiofibular junction by three-point bending using specially designed adjustable forceps with blunt jaws. To minimize soft tissue damage, care is taken not to displace the fracture. The skin is closed with monofilament nylon sutures. The operation is performed under sterile conditions. Radiographs of all fractures are taken immediately after nailing, and rats with fractures outside the specified diaphyseal area or with displaced nails are excluded. The remaining animals are divided randomly into the following groups with 10-12 animals per each subgroup per time point for testing the fracture healing. The first group receives daily gavage from 0.01 to 100 mg/kg/day of the compound to be tested (1 ml/rat) for 10, 20, 40 and 80 days.

At 10, 20, 40 and 80 days, 10-12 rats from each group are anesthetized with Ketamine and sacrificed by exsanguination. Both tibiofibular bones are removed bi dissection and all soft tissue is stripped. Bones from 5-6 rats for each group are stored in 70% ethanol for histological analysis, and bones from another 5-6 rats for each group are stored in a buffered Ringer's solution (+4° C., pH 7.4) for radiographs and biomechanical testing which is performed.

Histological Analysis: The methods for histologic analysis of fractured bone have been previously published by Mosekilde and Bak (The Effects of Growth Hormone on Fracture Healing in rats: A Histological Description. Bone, 14:19-27, 1993). Briefly, the fracture site is sawed 8 mm to each side of the fracture line, embedded undecalcified in methymethacrylate, and cut frontals sections on a Reichert-Jung Polycut microtome in 8 μm thick. Masson-Trichrome stained mid-frontal sections (including both tibia and fibula) are used for visualization of the cellular and tissue response to fracture healing with and without treatment. Sirius red stained sections are used to demonstrate the characteristics of the callus structure and to differentiate between woven bone and lamellar bone at the fracture site. The following measurements are performed: (1) fracture gap—measured as the shortest distance between the cortical bone ends in the fracture, (2) callus length and callus diameter, (3) total bone volume area of callus, (4) bony tissue per tissue area inside the callus area, (5) fibrous tissue in the callus, and (6) cartilage area in the callus.

Biometrical Analysis: The methods of biometrical analysis have been previously published by Bak and Andreassen (The Effects of Aging on Fracture healing in rats. Calcif Tissue Int 45:229-297, 1989). Briefly, radiographs of all fractures are taken prior to the biochemical test. the mechanical properties of the healing fractures are analyzed by a destructive three- or four-point bending procedure. Maximum load, stiffness, energy at maximum load, deflection at maximum load, and maximum stress are determined.

(a) Assay for Effects on Fracture Healing after Local Administration

Fracture Technique: Female or male beagle dogs at approximately 2 years of age are used under anesthesia in the study. Transverse radial fractures are produced by slow continuous loading in three-point bending as described by Lenehan et al. (Lenehan, T. M.; Balligand, M.; Nunamaker, D. M.; Wood, F. E.: Effects of EHDP on Fracture Healing in Dogs. J Orthop Res 3:499-507; 1985). A wire is pulled through the fracture site to ensure complete anatomical disruption of the bone. Thereafter, local delivery of prostaglandin agonists to the fracture site is achieved by slow release of compound delivered by slow release pellets or by administration of the compounds in a suitable formulation such as a paste gel solution or suspension for 10, 15, or 20 weeks.

Histological Analysis: The methods for histologic analysis of fractured bone have been previously published by Peter et al. (Peter, C. P.; Cook, W. O.; Nunamaker, D. M.; Provost, M. T.; Seedor, J. G.; Rodan, G. A. Effects of alendronate on fracture healing and bone remodeling in dogs. J. Orthop. Res. 14:74-70, 1996) and Mosekilde and Bak (The Effects of Growth Hormone on Fracture Healing in Rats: A Histological Description. Bone, 14:19-27, 1993). Briefly, after sacrifice, the fracture site is sawed 3 cm to each side of the fracture line, embedded undecalcified in methymethacrylate, and cut on a Reichert-Jung Polycut microtome in 8 μm thick of frontal sections. Masson-Trichrome stained mid-frontal sections (including both tibia and fibula) are used for visualization of the cellular and tissue response to fracture healing with and without treatment. Sirius red stained sections are used to demonstrate the characteristics of the callus structure and to differentiate between woven bone and lamellar bone at the fracture site. The following measurements are performed: (1) fracture gap—measured as the shortest distance between the cortical bone ends in the fracture, (2) callus length and callus diameter, (3) total bone volume area of callus, (4) bony tissue per tissue area inside the callus area, (5) fibrous tissue in the callus, (6) cartilage area in the callus.

Biomechanical Analysis: The methods for biomechanical analysis have been previously published by Bak and Andreassen (The Effects of Aging on Fracture Healing in Rats. Calcif Tissue Int 45:292-297, 1989) and Peter et al. (Peter, C. P.; Cook, W. O.; Nunamaker, D. M.; Provost, M. T.; Seedor, J. G.; Rodan, G. A. Effects of Alendronate On Fracture Healing And Bone Remodeling In Dogs J. Orthop. Res. 14:74-70, 1996). Briefly, radiographs of all fractures are taken prior to the biomechanical test. The mechanical properties of the healing fractures are analyzed by a destructive three- or four-point bending procedures. Maximum load, stiffness, energy at maximum load, deflection at maximum load, and maximum stress are determined.

The present invention also encompasses sustained release compositions.

Methods for Administering the Compounds of the Invention

Administration of the compounds of the present invention (hereinafter the “active compound(s)”) can be effected by any method that enables delivery of the compounds to the site of action. These methods include oral routes, intraduodenal routes, parenteral injection (including intravenous, subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravascular or infusion), topical, and rectal administration.

The amount of the active compound administered will be dependent on the subject being treated, the severity of the disorder or condition, the rate of administration, the disposition of the compound and the discretion of the prescribing physician. However, an effective dosage is in the range of about 0.001 to about 100 mg per kg body weight per day, preferably about 1 to about 35 mg/kg/day, in single or divided doses. For a 70 kg human, this would amount to about 0.05 to about 7 g/day, preferably about 0.2 to about 2.5 g/day. In some instances, dosage levels below the lower limit of the aforesaid range may be more than adequate, while in other cases still larger doses may be employed without causing any harmful side effect, provided that such larger doses are first divided into several small doses for administration throughout the day.

The active compound may be applied as a sole therapy or may involve one or more other anti-tumour substances, for example those selected from, for example, mitotic inhibitors, for example vinblastine; alkylating agents, for example cis-platin, carboplatin and cyclophosphamide; anti-metabolites, for example 5-fluorouracil, cytosine arabinoside and hydroxyurea, or, for example, one of the preferred anti-metabolites disclosed in European Patent Application No. 239362 such as N-(5-[N-(3,4-dihydro-2-methyl-4-oxoquinazolin-6-ylmethyl)-N-methylamino]-2-thenoyl)-L-glutamic acid; growth factor inhibitors; cell cycle inhibitors; intercalating antibiotics, for example adriamycin and bleomycin; enzymes, for example interferon; and anti-hormones, for example anti-estrogens such as Nolvadex® (tamoxifen) or, for example anti-androgens such as Casodex® (4′-cyano-3-(4-fluorophenylsulphonyl)-2-hydroxy-2-methyl-3′-(trifluoromethyl)propionanilide). Such conjoint treatment may be acheived by way of the simultaneous, sequential or separate dosing of the individual components of the treatment.

The pharmaceutical composition may, for example, be in a form suitable for oral administration as a tablet, capsule, pill, powder, sustained release formulations, solution, suspension, for parenteral injection as a sterile solution, suspension or emulsion, for topical administration as an ointment or cream or for rectal administration as a suppository, The pharmaceutical composition may be in unit dosage forms suitable for single administration of precise dosages. The pharmaceutical composition will include a conventional pharmaceutical carrier or excipient and a compound according to the invention as an active ingredient. In addition, it may include other medicinal or pharmaceutical agents, carriers, adjuvants, etc.

Exemplary parenteral administration forms include solutions or suspensions of active compounds in sterile aqueous solutions, for example, aqueous propylene glycol or dextrose solutions. Such dosage forms can be suitably buffered, if desired.

Suitable pharmaceutical carriers include inert diluents or fillers, water and various organic solvents. The pharmaceutical compositions may, if desired, contain additional ingredients such as flavorings, binders, excipients and the like. Thus for oral administration, tablets containing various excipients, such as citric acid may be employed together with various disintegrants such as starch, alginic acid and certain complex silicates and with binding agents such as sucrose, gelatin and acacia. Additionally, lubricating agents such as magnesium stearate, sodium lauryl sulfate and talc are often useful for tableting puropses. Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed in soft and hard filled gelatin capsules. Preferred materials, therefore, include lactose or milk sugar and high molecular weight polyethylene glycols. When aqueous suspensions or elixirs are desired for oral administration the active compound therein may be combined with various sweetening or flavoring agents, coloring matters or dyes and, if desired, emulsifying agents or suspending agents, together woth diluents such as water, ethanol, propylene glycol, glycerin, or combinations thereof.

Methods of preparing various pharmaceutical compositions with a specific amount of active compound are known, or will be apparent, to those skilled in this art. For examples, see Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mack Publishing Company, Easter, Pa., 15th Edition (1975).
